Another RoboHelp question

["Legg, Cynthia" <clegg -at- harris -dot- com>]

Craig, 

I use X5 loaded on my workstation and have my working folder on a
network drive. Our IT dept backs up those drives every night. In case of
a major loss, I can get them to restore from the previous day. However,
I always back up to my hard drive at the end of the day, just by
generating a copy to a folder. That does not save the source code, but
does save all my topic data. In case I need it quickly, I can just cut
and paste. Sometimes, it might take several days for the IT dept to
restore my original files, and I don't want to wait that long...:-)

This involves X5. Does anyone know how to do quick-and-dirty backups? I
SOMEHOW managed to destroy several topics within my project. I wasn't
given any warnings. I rebuilt them, but really!

I am usually good at doing under-the-radar, save-my-bacon backups, but
RH is not being helpful. Its Project Manager is rather limited, in my
opinion. Everything I want to do involves Windows Explorer, which RH
specifically tells you NOT to use.

Some messages appeared, telling me my data was being destroyed. I had no
alternative but to click Yes, and watch my data go bye-bye.

I wound up building an extra chapter using duplicate topics (after I
rewrote them) within my original project. Not ideal by any means, but
far better than nothing, I guess.

Suggestions appreciated.

Craig
